What are the best games with that Conan the Barbarian feel? Obviously there is Rastan but is there anything else out there worth playing?

Well there is BARBARIAN. Sadly the Golden Axe spinoffs don't seem to bother with the atmosphere.

Rygar is pretty good but honestly the PS2 game is even better. Full on Conan with a whip-shield action. It's a romp.

It is worth noting that besides First Blood sound samples, Gold Axe also used Conan the Barbarian sound samples as well.
Back in the days when "borrowing" someone's else's artistic creation wasn't taken quite so seriously. Those were better days.

>> No.6516620

Anything more adventure game like? I mean I love Golden Axe, Rastan, Blades of Vengeance I've all played and own them all actually. I want something with a little more adventure I want to travel around to different kingdoms stealing their valuables like conan and fighting the serpentmen and skeletons.

Not actually retro, and not really 'ancient barbarian', but it is a retro-styled slash-em-up with a gothic/metal vibe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNOdWCWXoag

I really liked it. It's gory and nice to look at, the music is cool, and the slashing has a nice 'weighty' feel to it. If you buy it, wait for a sale as it's not a particularly long game.

more likely they used the same sample libraries, which were not as varied back then and sound mixing were nowhere as easy so the sounds were used as-is.

Yeah but you have to find a good pvp server to get the true experience. Then you will find out what it's like to be a true barbarian. The offline is good too cause the building is good, story is good (you have to uncover it yourself from lorestones and npcs, no in game cutscenes), the world is awesome to explore as are the dungeons, online pvp is the way to go because how else am I gonna show my big titted slaves off? I'll warn you the game is pretty buggy still but it's the best barbarian simulator I have ever played. Im a fan of the book and it does a good job adapting that world to a survival game.
